The truth be told, education is not all that people make it to be. Don’t get me wrong, it is an asset to understand how to function in this world of materialism. Without it, you run the risk of being judged as unsuccessful and poor.

In relating education to the Black American relationships, you will find that we have come to decide who we will or will not involve ourselves with based on their educational background. This is an unnatural approach to love and it has cost us greatly.

Many females do not listen to uneducated African American older women. They feel their programmed education surpasses the wisdom of their elders. Imparting the wisdom of the ages has become a thing of the past now that education dictates who we are or are not.

I have found many people who pursue education as a sense of identification end up presenting themselves to the world as self-righteous as and more superior than those who choose not to take this path for survival. They tend to project a need to be acknowledged for their efforts and sacrifices to absorb worldly knowledge. They look upon those who took a different route in life as though they were lazy or inefficient.

Education has become another means of division causing alienation and false bonding. Just because someone is educated, does not mean they can love you. They can be attracted to the programmed part of you but what about the natural part of you?

Bonding is not just based on what we have in common. In fact, there was a time people understood opposites attract. Even a computer gets tired of too much data. What do you think happens to overly educated human beings? No doubt an educated fool tends to be the outcome for those who lose touch with the natural gifts and aspects of life.

An educated black female is a new breed of women. They are identified as tougher than the uneducated woman in contrast to considering a mate. In making great sacrifices in educating themselves , they will not consider an uneducated man in most cases and vice versa.

The truth be told, love has not anything to do with education. It exists based on heart to heart---in the silence of soul. As long as we are determined to be accepted by societal demands, love is impossible. You can not program love. You can program yourself with education and exalt yourself; but be willing to know love just may be the true sacrifice. Love is experienced in simplicity. And who wants that when worldly gain is a priority.
